Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, moderate stage

This code signifies a diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma affecting the right eye, where the disease progression has reached a moderate stage. This condition is characterized by optic nerve damage and visual field loss due to elevated intraocular pressure, without an identifiable secondary cause.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma in the patient's right eye, and the ophthalmologist has assessed the disease as being in a moderate stage. This typically involves moderate visual field defects and/or optic nerve damage as per clinical guidelines.

• Ensure laterality is accurately documented (right eye).
• Confirm the stage of glaucoma (moderate) is explicitly stated by the provider.
• Do not use this code for secondary glaucoma or glaucoma of unspecified type.
